Established in 1910, it has tried to meet more and more adequately the needs of the young people of our school. A complete business course is offered in both the secretarial and bookkeeping fields. Upon corn- pletion df the prescribed courses in each of these fields, a student may be adequately prepared to take his place in the world of work upon graduation. College preparatory students have found it wise and sensible to take business subjects, along with their college preparatory credits, to enable them to earn a livelihood in the event that they are unable to continue: their education as they originally planned, or to help them work their way through college. This department has done a wonderful job of turning out capable and efficient students who are ready to make use. of their knowledge in a practical way. Now is the time i I 5.

ART DEPARTMENT The Art Department offers to each student an opportunity of expressing himself through his own creative ideas. Many students aren't able to express themselves in speech work or music. Art gives a stu- dent a form of relaxation as Well as an outlet for crea- tive thoughts. Every student has a chance to enter national and state contests, which give recognition to the individual and encourage work in all types of the arts. Many op- portunities for entering the commercial field and re- ceiving scholarships are available to winning contestants. Different types of art are taught at Central, such as Interior Decoration, Design, Commercial Art, and Art Appreciation. The teachers of this department try not only to furnish and equip the students with the techniques, but also to give them a better understanding of the arts. In this way students learn to appreciate this culture even if art doesn't become their life work. 1 MUSIC DEPARTMENT Through the Music Department a student becomes acquainted with one of the many aspects of a well- rounded education. One who is interested in developing his natural music talent has an opportunity of expressing his own creative abilities. The study of .high school music is arranged to attract, hold, and educate the boy and girl. Its purpose is to make not professional musicians but music lovers and listeners, knowing the world's music just as they know its history, prose, poetry, and art. By working together in class, students learn co- operation and dependability. The a cappella and the Band both demand this sense of responsibility. Music stands for as much mental development and general culture as does any other subject in the cur- riculum. The Band and a cappella each give assemblies dur- ing the year for the enjoyment of the whole school. The use of modeling clay is one of the constructive arts taught at Central High School.
